Fall 2026 Laboratory Upper DivisionService Learning
These courses provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to engage in an authentic and extended design experience in community-based projects and designing a solution for a community organization. Students will work on interdisciplinary and vertically integrated teams (first-year through seniors) with faculty, staff, industry and alumni volunteers, and graduate student mentors to address these real-world design challenges. Students will participate in professional development activities that include topics related to design, documentation and technical writing, communication, leadership and teamwork, ethics, project management, risk assessment, information literacy, and introduction to a broad range of applicable disciplinary topics, technologies and development tools.
Learning Outcomes1Apply engineering design to create a product that meets the specified needs of this engineering design experience with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
